The Detroit Pistons traded Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies on June 25, concluding Stewart's six-year tenure with the team. In return, the Pistons received three second-round picks, clearing $30 million from their payroll. This trade grants the Pistons over $20 million in cap space, potentially enabling them to target players like Tyler Herro or Norman Powell. Stewart's limited availability due to injuries in recent seasons and the emergence of Paul Reed contributed to the decision. Reed is now expected to serve as the backup for Jalen Duren following Stewart’s departure.
